The Nanomaterials Characterization Facility (NCF) at CU-Boulder is a facility to both educate students and avail itself to a community of top-notch researchers from academia, government labs, and industry representing a variety of disciplines. Our current instruments provide the latest-cutting edge technology allowing fabrication, characterization, imaging and probing of structures and materials on the nanoscale in multiple environments. The facility provides:
- affordable access to our state-of-the-art instruments
- personalized training on operation of instruments by our experienced staff
- on line user-scheduled instrument reservations on a first-come, first serve basis
- a gateway to an expanding CU wide network of nano instrumentation and services
